Hi past few days I've suffered with a stiff neck & crampy arm just thought I had slept funny on it..last night in the shower I discovered a 1 inch growth from bottom of arm pit to side of bust.. obviously got my partner to check and he agreed it's definitely there.. I just put it down to swollen lymph nodes.. Saw gp today, she said unlikely to be a lymph node was a little unsure on what it was but there is a definite lump on the breast wing and would refer me to the breast clinic and to expect an appointment in 2 wks..I had a call a few hrs later saying I had an appointment in a week...now I'm worried I feel sick.. don't want to tell my family yet as I don't want them worrying..do you get the results on your first visit.. anyone with a similar symptom
Hi Dee974 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I was recalled after a routine mammogram showed up an area of concern.
The hospital I went to operated a one stop service, so I had an enhanced mammogram, followed by an ultrasound and then a biopsy all in the same morning. I was told there and then that they were almost certain the area contained a tumour and this was confirmed a week later.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your symptoms into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
